4. REQUESTED CHANGE: 

a. Description of Change: This change documents requirement for additional data on Defense 

Logistics Management System (DLMS) 527D Due-In/Advance Receipt; 527R Receipt, 940R Materiel 

Release, and 945A Materiel Release Advice; and documents Material Control Tracking process at the 

Naval Shipyards 2005 BRAC SS&D sites. This process is used specifically at Naval Shipyards (NSY) to 

track specific items removed from a ship to perform repairs and request same item be reinstalled on the 

ship when repairs are completed.

b. Background: As a result of the 2005 BRAC decision, retail supply, storage and distribution 

functions and associated infrastructure supporting the Navy industrial/maintenance sites will transfer to 

DLA. The Navy sites consist of 2 NSYs and 3 Fleet Readiness Centers (FRCs). The intent of the directive 

is to significantly improve combat effectiveness while reducing costs by developing a world-class, costeffective supply chain focused on readiness; taking every opportunity to eliminate waste, reduce touches, 

reduce cost, and improve readiness.

ADC 373 Att 

c. Detailed Procedures: Material Control Tracking (MCT) tags are applied to material requiring 

temporary storage and moving within the shipyard and its storage location, and/or shops, to ensure 

Ripout Material, or Prefabricated Material, or Courtesy Storage Material accountability is maintained. 

The MCT tag and tag number are created and kept within the shipyard MAT system and a cradle to grave 

record is kept to link that material to its step within the maintenance action Job Order (JO) and Key 

Operation (KO) that requires the Ripout storage or the Courtesy Storage requirement. Any storage of 

such material between removal and reinstallation will occur within DSS; with the initial storage location 

and any follow on location changes passed to MAT. The MCT tag record must be updated with the 

current location of the MCT tagged material after storage or any movement to or from a shop or ship. 

The MCT tag record is closed out after the item is reinstalled on the ship or returned to its owner. 

Associated process flows are at the enclosure. Note: This material is not supply stock material and does 

not normally have NSN or LSN assigned, and there are no sales or financial transactions involved. 

d. Navy Revision. This approved change includes a specific change to remove the MCT Tag Suffix 

as a separate data element, which is associated with a revised concept for system accountability for 

this materiel. Under the new concept, items broken down into component parts for maintenance 

actions will no longer be identified on the DSS records by their unique suffixes. When individual 

component parts are moved into maintenance shops, they will be tracked by the Navy system. 

Note: DLMSO requests additional documentation of this process be provided in response to 

PDC 384A which is under development and soon to be released for staffing. It currently 

appears that the MCT Tag value will remain on the DSS accountable record although not considered 

in DSS custody while the component parts are separately undergoing maintenance action. DLMSO 

believes this new procedure may conflict with DOD policy and require that DLA address an 

overarching DOD policy change. DOD 4140.1-R (reference 3b) directs that:

“C5.7.1.1.4. Storage activities shall be accountable for the accuracy of that portion of the total 

item property record showing the quantitative balance in their custody.”

e. Detailed Procedures for RIPOUT items: 

(1) The start of the Material Control Tracking begins when a Technical Work Document (TWD) 

identifies component-items to be removed to perform maintenance. At this time a record will be created 

in the Navy MAT system for pre-printed tags for known component-items through the TWD. Records 

may also be created for extra or blank pre-printed tags that might need to be used for other unspecified 

items found on the ship. 

(2) When the tags are printed, MAT will generate a 527D Pre-Positioned Material Receipt (PMR) 

to DSS. This will provide DSS with the JO, KO1

, the document number, and the MCT Tag number 

providing a due-in record necessary to receipt the component-item when and if it is placed in custody 

storage within a DSS warehouse location assigned to the storage site or shop. 

(3) If there are additional component-items that require removal these will be identified using the 

extra or blank MCT tags which will always have a unique MCT tag number. The use of these extra or blank 

tags will require the mechanic (or his Work Packaging and Control (WPC) representative for the overhaul) to 

log into MAT to modify the extra or blank tag and obtain a new document number for that MCT tag. When 

that occurs, MAT will trigger a PMR to DSS. For MCT tagged items without a PMR, DLA Industrial 

Activity site personnel and Project Team personnel must operationally coordinate to go into MAT and create 

a tag record which will cause a PMR to be generated for DSS to store and track the material. 

 

1 ADC 381 (reference 3c) adds Job Order (JO) number and Key Operation (KO) number to numerous DLMS 

Supplements (DS) including 527D, 527R, 940R, and 945A. 
3 of 9 

ADC 373 Att 

(4) When DSS accepts custody/receipts rip-out item(s), DSS will generate a material receipt 

(527R Receipt with 2/LIN01/10 code ‘I’/D6A functionality) into Navy ownership based on the provided 

PMR. The MCT tag number will be used as the identifying material number while in storage, in 

place of a National Stock Number or a Local Stock Number. The MCT tag number and its associated 

document number, JO, and KO will also be used by the Navy to stage/deliver the item to different shops 

when applicable; and will be referenced on the subsequent “callout issue request” (this is the materiel 

release order (MRO)/940R) when the item is returned to the mechanic to reinstall on the ship. DSS will 

store these items by the key elements of MCT Tag Number, MCT Tag Number Suffix, Document Number, 

Document Number Suffix, and JO Number only. 

STAFFING Note: DLMSO understanding is that when the PMR for rip-out items occurs, a document 

number is assigned. It is this document number along with the material number (aka the MCT tag 

number) and JO number that DSS stores by, and that will be referenced in later transactions such as the 

940R or 940S. It is strictly Navy owned material put into storage under Navy ownership and later rewarehoused for repair, or issue back for reinstall, from Navy ownership. DLA EBS is not involved in 

rip-out and there is no requisition of any type to DLA Enterprise Business System (EBS) or anyone else. 

(5) If the component-item requires maintenance and must be disassembled to accomplish this task, 

each item removed from the original component-item is known as a sub-component-item. When a subcomponent-item requires repair, refurbishment, etc., and leaves the initial work site, identification is 

maintained through the use of MCT tag(s). The shop personnel will log into MAT and create a 

subcomponent-item MCT tag as needed. This process will remain internal to MAT. No PMR or other 

transaction will exit MAT to DSS. The moving of the material from shop to shop until all maintenance and 

re-assembly occurs will be tracked within MAT. 

(6) Prior to the component item being disassembled or moved to a maintenance shop MAT will 

generate an 846A Asset Reclassification Request2

 to update the Key Op, if applicable. DSS will respond 

when the update of the Key Op has occurred and MAT will then generate a Warehouse Service Request 

(WSR) (940S) with Service Performed Code 93

. DSS will process the WSR and deliver the material to the 

maintenance shop reflected on the WSR for maintenance. When requested DSS will respond with a 

Warehouse Service Advice (WSA) (943A) indicating the requested service has been completed. The action 

is considered complete when the material is stowed and reflected on the DSS records under the storage 

location developed for the applicable maintenance shop. When the material is delivered to the 

maintenance shop, the name and badge number of the person taking custody of the material will be 

obtained and reflected on the local manifest within DSS. 

(7) When the component-item is to be reinstalled on the ship, the project material personnel will 

call out the component by initiating in MAT a Material Release Order (MRO) 940R (MILSTRIP 

Document Identifier (DI) Code A5_ functionality) and a WSR (940S) with Service Performed Code 6. 

DSS will receive the MRO and retrieve the WSR pick-list information to deliver the material back to the 

mechanic to reinstall the item. The Key Op associated with the re-installation will be reflected in both 

the MRO and the WSR. DSS will respond with Material Release Confirmation 945A (MILSTRIP DI 

Code AR_ functionality) which will be passed to MAT through DAASC.

(8) MAT will receive the Material Release Confirmation and close the component-item MCT 

records. Inventory will be updated as applicable.

f. Detailed Procedures for Other material types: 

(1) Pre-FAB: A Pre-fab item is normally an item that is manufactured by one of the shipyard 

shops under a Job Order and its own unique Key Op (JO/KO) using raw materials. Once 

manufactured, a Pre-fab item is just like any other part for the ship overhaul, in that it is normally

stored in the warehouse until needed. The process functions similar to a Navy owned Direct Material 

(DMI) item; except that an MCT tag number and document number will be used for identification, 

storage and issue as discussed above. A PMR (527D) will be provided by MAT to DSS with this 

identifying information and DSS will store the materiel and generate a Material Receipt (527R Receipt 

with 2/LIN01/10 code ‘I’/D6A functionality) into Navy ownership based on the provided PMR. Prefab material will eventually be either staged and/or issued to the job under an installation or reinstallation Key Op for that Job Order in accordance with the Staging and Issue process flows like any 

other DMI item. NSY shop personnel and DLA onsite personnel will operationally coordinate to 

ensure the creation of a MAT record and the affixing of a MCT tag prior to storage. 

(2) Courtesy Storage: The other use for MCT tags is for temporary Courtesy Storage; which is 

the local warehousing of ship owned equipment during overhauls, or the storage of shipyard shop 

equipment. The ship or shop personnel requesting Courtesy storage will operationally coordinate with 

local DLA site personnel to arrange for the creation of MCT tags and item records in MAT. After the 

MCT tags are affixed, the material is stored as a Navy owned asset by DLA warehouse personnel in the 

appropriate courtesy storage area using the MAT generated MCT tag number and document number. 

An appropriate courtesy storage JO/KO will be used. A PMR (527D) will be provided by MAT to DSS 

with this identifying information and DSS will store the materiel and generate a material receipt (527R 

Receipt with 2/LIN01/10 code ‘I’/D6A functionality) into Navy ownership based on the provided PMR. 

Return of Courtesy Storage material is arranged with the DLA onsite personnel, who will issue the 

MCT tagged items using the normal 940R (A5_), Material Release procedure. After return, the MAT 

MCT tag and record will be closed out after DSS sends the Material Release Advice, 945A. 

Note: DSS IA warehousing locations will include locations that are physically on Naval ships that are 

undergoing overhaul.

5. DLA Transaction Services Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) Mapping: Update 

DAAS maps to allow new data to pass any applicable edits. 

6. ALTERNATIVES: None identified. 

7. REASON FOR CHANGE: Navy requires the ability to inform DSS when material is due-in for 

storage based on the Ripout, Prefab or Courtesy Storage items. DSS requires the ability to identify these 

items with the use of a unique material identification to track, store and maintain accountability. 

 8. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

a. Advantages: Enterprise Business System (EBS), Material Access Technology (MAT), 

Material Resource Planning (MRP) II and Distribution Storage System (DSS), will be able to comply 

with DLMS standards for the BRAC IMSP Spiral 2 process.

b. Disadvantages: DSS would like the ability to account for Navy owned materials storage on 

behalf of the local IA worksite at the NSY BRAC SS&D sites. 

9. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: DLA and Navy testing will begin 

June 2010. Target implementation is December 2010. 

10. IMPACT: 

a. Publications:

(1) Requires update to DLMS 527D, 527R, 940R, and 945A to add new data elements.
8 of 9 

ADC 373 Att 

(2) Requires update to DOD 4000.25-M, DLMS, to add procedures for the BRAC SS&D/IMSP 

process described by this PDC. DLA J-33 to provide procedures for the DLMS manual, Volume 2, for 

inclusion in the ADC. 

b. Automated Information Systems (AIS): DLA EBS, DLA DSS, Navy MAT, and Navy MRP II. 

11. DLMS Data Elements: Adds Material Control Tracking (MCT) Tag Number to 527D, 527R, 

940R, and 945A. This data element is also being added to 940S and 943A by PDC 384 and to other 

DLMS transactions by ADC 381. 

Data Element Explanation Field 

Length

Material Control Tracking (MCT) Tag 

Number 

Material identification number applicable to items in 

courtesy storage (e.g. Ripout, prefab) on behalf of the

Material Control Tracking (MCT) Tag 

Number Suffix

IMSP Team determined MCT Tag 

Number Suffix was not required as a 

separate data element and it should be 

deleted from transactions. 

Suffix assigned to MCT tag numbers for each individual 

subcomponent- item removed from the original 

component-item assigned the original MCT tag for 

tracking purposes.

COMPONENT PDC RESPONSE/COMMENT DISPOSITION 

Contractor Support to 

IUID Office 

Consistent with SIM and UID 

Policy believe the items/property 

covered in these scenarios could be 

tracked by the UII and not use a 

"Material Control Tracking" Tag. 

Was this considered before 

developing this PDC?

DLMSO forwarded comment to DLA IMSP 

Team Lead, however please note that the MCT 

Tag is a current Navy industrial site process 

being accommodated as part of BRAC. Navy 

and DLA are not addressing IUID as part of 

BRAC SS&D IMSP processing at this time. 

Further, DLMSO understanding is that the tag is 

being used as the materiel identification, so at 

some point down the road, if these items are 

tracked by IUID while within DSS custody, the 

UII, or multiple UIIs per tag, when UII is 

applicable, would be included in addition to the 

MCT Tag (in lieu of replacing the tag as 

suggested).
